hey - don't knock 300 baud! (you young folks won't have a clue what that means ...)
 
Oh my. I remember it too well. As the new guy at the time-sharing company years ago, I got the "portable terminal" to take for solving customer problems or doing demos with the salesman. It was a Teletype model 33 in a large suitcase and an acoustic coupler that the suitcase did not have enough room for. You have to be of a "certain age" to know what a teletype or even time-sharing is all about.
 
I was looking for a rotary dial sound. Yep... THAT would be mysterious to most under about 35.

The only rotary sound I know is the one the Mazda makes.
 
We had a person at wotk who had the rotary phone ring on their cell. That person one day went off and left it in their desk and someone kept calling it. Finally one of the youngsters yelled, "what is that bell sound I keep hearing". Had to be explained it was what a phone once sounded like..
